CAMROSE – Local and area residents are invited to attend a meeting of the Yellowhead East Health Advisory Council (HAC) via Zoom on April 11 from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
The meeting is an opportunity to hear from Alberta Health Services’ Community Health Promotion Services team. Join us to learn about how substances such as alcohol and cannabis can impact the physical and mental health of youth due to their ongoing development. This session will give you tools and resources to engage meaningfully with children and youth on this topic.
To register for this meeting, email yellowheadeast@ahs.ca and put ‘Youth and Substance’ in the subject line. Feel free to share this invitation with others in the community.

HACs play an important role in supporting the strategic direction of AHS by engaging members of their communities throughout Alberta in a respectful, transparent and accountable manner. Public participation is essential to improving the quality and accountability of health services. Working in partnership with AHS is an important way to ensure that services are more responsive to the needs of those who use them.
Alberta Health Services is the provincial health authority responsible for planning and delivering health supports and services for more than four million adults and children living in Alberta. Our mission is to provide a patient-focused, quality health system that is accessible and sustainable for all Albertans.
